The few people who returned from hunting sat in the main room and warmed themselves by the fire. They all smiled kindly when they saw Shui Bokang like this. It’s really lively to have an active kid at home.
Shui Shangqing was sitting next to his eldest son. Seeing Shui Bokang's depressed expression after being rejected, he reached out and touched his head.
"When the weather calms down later, grandpa will take you up the mountain and let you learn how to hunt. Your father, uncle and aunt all learned from grandpa."
Shui Bokang was very happy. He let go of Shui Jianguo and rushed towards Shui Shangqing: "Grandpa is so good. I will definitely learn hard. I will also hunt big wild boars and treat everyone to meat."
After Xiaowu and Xiaoliu felt that they were not cold anymore, they set up a fire in the yard and grilled fish and pheasants. After all, they were idle and found something to do for themselves.
Bai Lu and Li Xinxin learned to make jerky. After all, this kind of food is delicious and easy to put away. There are many benefits to learning.
Looking at Shui Bingyue's skillful skills, Li Xinxin couldn't help but praise: "Bingyue can do anything, she's really amazing!"
"I'm not as good as my second sister-in-law said. There are many things I don't know how to do."
The old lady also smiled and said: "Bingyue just doesn't like what ordinary girls like. She can't embroider or make clothes."
"Grandma, as long as you can make money, you can buy these. It doesn't matter if Bingyue doesn't know it. I don't know anything except work." Li Xinxin replied with a smile.
Bai Lu also expressed her opinion: "That's right, grandma, you don't know, if my mother hadn't passed away early, I wouldn't have wanted to learn to make clothes.
These are not things that girls necessarily like. From ancient times to the present, famous tailors and fashion designers are basically men. "
Liu Xuemei saw a few people chatting happily and started making dinner. It's getting late after all. The husband and children had been freezing all day in the mountains and it was time for something warm.
Steam the sticky bean buns first. They are already cooked, but they are heated very quickly. There is a big pot of vegetables cooked in the pot, cabbage vermicelli, meatballs, bacon, whatever you want to eat.
Soon dinner was ready, and the whole family sat down to have dinner together. Xiao Wu gave one of the roasted chicken legs to his grandmother and the other to his sister.
Xiao Bokang was not envious either. After all, he was standing next to his fifth uncle and sixth uncle when they were grilling fish. He was basically full and couldn't eat anything.
When everyone was eating together, he was holding a bowl of hawthorn soup to digest his food. Children are still greedy and unable to control themselves.
Even Shui Bingyue would eat more when he encountered something delicious. Shen Dongsheng looked at the little girl now. She didn't eat as much as before.
After finishing dinner, he asked specifically: "Bingyue, why did you eat so little today?"
Shui Bingyue shook her head: "I ate a lot. I made dried meat in the afternoon. Just to taste it, I ate several pieces. I was the most hungry. I will send some to the master in a while. If you feel hungry in the middle of the night, It’s okay to eat.”
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Shen Dongsheng didn't expect that if he cared about the little girl, he would get delicious food.
Although Xiaoqi always thought about him when he was studying with him and always sent him delicious food, he was really not as considerate as the little girl.
After delivering dried meat to her master, Shui Bingyue returned to the room she shared with her third and fourth brothers. Seeing the third brother packing his luggage, he sighed silently.
Shui Jianjun heard his sister's footsteps, turned his head to look at her, and smiled slightly: "You should come to Beijing in the summer, and then we can see each other more often."
Shui Bingyue walked over, sat by the kang, and asked with concern: "When will brother leave tomorrow?"
"The weather is not very good now. I may have to leave after breakfast."
"Then how about I drive a donkey cart with Fourth Brother to take you to the airport? It's not easy to take a taxi now."
Shui Jianshe just came back from washing up. Hearing what his sister said, he agreed very much.
Shui Jianjun felt it was not appropriate: "Your fourth brother can just send me off alone. It's such a cold day, so don't suffer the cold."
"I'm not afraid of the cold. My fourth brother has never been to the airport and doesn't know where it is. I can give him directions."
Shui Jianshe knew that his sister was reluctant to leave his third brother, so he persuaded her together: "If Bingyue wants to go, let her go with her. After all, she has been at home for a long time and has not gone out for a walk. When we send you to the place, we will Have a good time."
Shui Jianjun nodded in agreement, and the three of them chatted for a while before falling asleep peacefully.
Li Xinxin chatted with Shuijian Dang about what happened in the past two days, and was full of emotion: "Jiang Dang, your place is really beautiful. It's just a bit cold and a bit dangerous."
"It's true. If the conditions here weren't bad, my parents wouldn't be willing to let our brothers go out to work."
Li Xinxin leaned into her husband's arms and said with a smile: "The family atmosphere in your family is really good, and everyone is not a fussy person. In the future, it will be great if our children look like Bingyue."
"We can only hope for this kind of thing. After all, there is only one smart kid like Bingyue in our entire village."
In Shui Jiandang's heart, her sister is naturally the best. He would naturally be happy if his child could be like his sister, but it would be a bit difficult.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered his sister's words on the day he met the wild boar, and unconsciously reached out to touch his wife's belly.
Li Xinxin suddenly felt an itch on her stomach and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"Do you remember that Bingyue said that you might be pregnant with a baby? She is always very accurate in what she says."
"In this case, you should be more honest in the next few days. After all, I haven't had my inspection last month."
Shui Jiandang nodded helplessly. After all, children are important. If you have one, you must pay attention to it. He also really wants to be a father.
Then the two of them hugged each other and slept peacefully.
Shui Jianguo and Bai Lu were in their room, looking at their sleeping son, their eyes filled with happiness.
Bai Lu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I could live such a good life. Speaking of which, I didn't take care of Bokang for a long time. Thanks to my mother and Bingyue for taking care of him."
"I feel that what I have done is not good enough. It would be great if I could buy a big house in the county and move there with my family. After all, I am the eldest in the family."
"My parents will definitely be reluctant to part with it. After all, the food supply is planned. Without farming, the family will not have enough food to eat. Unless everyone in the family becomes workers."
Shui Jianguo sighed helplessly: "When will our food production increase significantly, we won't have to worry about food and drink. There are many areas where our country needs to improve."
"That's how it is in this era. We are all small, and being able to take care of our own families is already amazing."
When the voices disappeared, everyone in the courtyard fell into a deep sleep. Time passed by quietly, and soon the next morning came.
